Access to Splunk Observability Kubernetes “Classic Navigator” UI will no longer be available starting January 30, 2025.  A new version of Splunk Observability Kubernetes Navigator was introduced last year with this announcement that essentially replaced the “Classic Navigator”. Since then we have released multiple iterations to Navigators to improve the overall user experience. Although Classic Navigator was deprecated as per the documentation last year, it was still accessible until now. What that means for you, the customer: There are no major changes to the experience for users other than not being able to access the “Classic Navigator” user interface There is no action required of admins or users of the product Classic Navigator URLs will get redirected to new Navigators automatically Thank you for being a customer of Splunk Observability Kubernetes Navigator.

The Observability team is planning to release its first Role Based Access Control (RBAC) release soon. This release will deliver additional pre-defined roles out-the-box including Admin, Power, Read-only and Usage roles. In preparation of that release, we plan to rename the existing “User” role to “Power” role. There is no change in the capabilities or permissions of the role or existing assignments of user roles but rather this is simply a role name change. Customer will start seeing new Power role instead of user role in the User page. Customers should expect the renaming of the user role sometime at the end of the month January 2024, before RBAC pre-defined roles is released.  Correction: Customer should expect renaming of user role couple of days after RBAC pre-defined roles is released in early February 2024. ...
